Core Learning in Inherited Cardiac Conditions (CLICC)NHS CLICC logo

The aim of this programme is to provide core training in inherited cardiac conditions (ICC).

Target audience – doctors in training, specialist nurses, genetic counsellors, cardiac physiologists, non-ICC specialist cardiologists and primary care physicians.

ICC services have traditionally been concentrated within tertiary care, but the shift towards networks of care and mainstreaming of genetic testing means that increasingly many ICC patients will be managed in secondary care settings. Through the CLICC programme, we aim to develop our current ICC workforce and to inspire the next generation of ICC specialists.
